I'm reading Madame Bovary and although haven't reached the part of Madame's affairs but the writing even when Charles Bovary is getting attracted to her before they marry (and obviously have sex) is so terrific. Wonder why I never read Flaubert.

It seems it's tough to write consistently well on sex. I read John Updike's Couples and felt it was really well written on sex and otherwise. Another writer in recent times who wrote about sex and what goes around it really well was Daniyal Muennudin. Pessimist Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057153008708242962noreply@blogger.com
